Forbidden Forest
Summary: Arya drags Gendry into the Forbidden Forest.
A/N: This is for the axgweek 2014 day 2 prompt, forbidden and was suggested to me by thestagthatlovedthedirewolf on tumblr.
"Arya, this isn't a good idea." Gendry grumbled, as he trailed after her across the grounds. "It's called the Forbidden Forest, for a reason."
"So?" She shrugged glancing around them to make sure they weren't being followed or spotted. "It'll be fun, and we're not going to go any further then we have in class."
"Then why are we going?" It was dusk, so they still had a chance of being seen, but Arya insisted on coming at this time.
"Sansa told me they've been study Unicorns in her Care of Magical Creatures class, and they're keeping some in the pen just in the forest, but only till tomorrow afternoon, after classes end." They had entered the boundary of the forest, so Gendry felt a little better about staying unseen.
"Do that's why we're risking getting detention, to see something we could see in class?"
She looked back and rolled her eyes at him, "Because I won't see it in class, at least not until next year, and there's not a guarantee they'll catch any to show us."
"So you want to sneak up on some magical creatures at night." He had no idea why he always followed her into these things. "Do you not realize why this might not be a good idea?"
The woods were thickening as they approached the clearing, "Unicorns aren't hostile, and they have a foal, which are more accepting of male's, so it won't run away from you."
The path widened and they entered the clearing, in it grazed two young golden foals. They looked up startled at their arrival but made no move to escape. They stood for a moment to let them get used to them before slowly approaching the fence.
He looked over at Arya to find her leaning over the fence with a look of awe on her face. She must have sensed him looking because she flashed him a smile. "They're so beautiful, aren't they?"
And in the last light of the day, streaming through the canopy, he thought she out shined even the unicorns.
